As a condition precedent (which may be waived by the Company) to conversion of this Note as provided for in this Section 5(a), the Holder will be required to execute the definitive Stock Purchase Agreement and such other agreements prepared in connection with the Equity Financing.

(b) Automatic Conversion upon Corporate Transaction . Upon the closing of a sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company’s stockholders will hold, in the aggregate, less than 50% of the voting power of the combined entity, the principal and accrued interest due on this Note shall automatically be converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock as set forth in Section 5(e) below. The conversion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of such closing. The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note shall be automatically converted shall be determined by dividing the principal and accrued interest due on this Note as of the date of conversion by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the per share price attributed to the Company’s Common Stock in connection with such transaction and (ii) $1.00.

(c) Automatic Conversion upon Debt Financing . Upon consummation by the Company of the sale and issuance of Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10.5 million, the principal and accrued interest due on this Note shall automatically be converted into equity securities of the Company on terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the Company and the holder(s) of a majority-in-interest of then-outstanding Notes and as set forth in Section 5(e) below. The conversion shall be deemed to have occurred as of the date of such closing.

(d) Voluntary Conversion at Maturity Date . At and as of the Maturity Date, to the extent this Note is still outstanding and has not otherwise been converted or repaid in full, the Holder will have the option, in its sole discretion, to convert this Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note may be voluntarily converted shall be determined by dividing the principal and accrued interest due on this Note as of the date of conversion by $1.00.

(e) Issuance of Securities on Conversion . As soon as practicable after conversion of this Note, Company, at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Equity Securities or Common Stock (as applicable) to which Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion.
